Is There Anyone Out There?

Sometimes when I write

I feel my words

Drifting in 

And out

Of this reality

Into another. 

 

I constantly find myself

Asking if anyone can hear me.

There are things

That I will never say

Never write

Never think about again.

 

I try to express myself

But words always

Hold more meaning

Than anyone I know

Could even possibly

Understand.

 

So when I ask if there 

Is anyone out there,

If anyone can hear me,

I'm really hoping with 

All that I am

That someone will understand.

 

I pray to God that

You hear my

Broken promises, 

My warnings, 

My advice, 

My screams.

 

Because I am screaming

Out of fear

and pain

and joy 

and laughter

and life.

 

So please, please tell me

If there's anyone out there

Who can hear me,

Who can speak my language,

Who will understand

The words I can't find anymore.
